Do you agree with BISD’s vote on Calvin Walker?

Calvin Walker will continue to serve as the district’s electrician following a 4-2 vote during Thursday’s school board meeting. The board also voted to not ask the US Attorney’s office for more information about restitution money, which could have been up to $2 million, related to Walker’s plea deal. Walker forfeited $3.2 in that deal and plead guilty to one charge of tax evasion. The government dropped a 37-count indictment against Walker in exchange for the plea deal.Walker’s company has been serving as the district’s electrician since it won the bid in 2006.

Do you agree with BISD’s vote on Calvin Walker?

Yes. He was never convicted of defrauding the district. He should keep his job.

No. He admitted to falsifying an invoice sent to the district. He should lose his job and BISD should seek the restitution money.
